For small businesses that develop internet of things (IoT) devices, the ability to license standard-essential patents on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms is vital to their competitiveness and innovative capacity. At a time of escalating FRAND disputes, including international anti-suit injunctions running amok, cases referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union, and legislation potentially on the table, is it time to consider potential proposals for reform to improve the standard-essential patents ecosystem? Which reforms are necessary to create a path to certainty and prosperity for those that build on standards to innovate?
This webinar will feature a discussion from experts on proposals for reform of the ecosystem of standard-essential patents.
